Recommendations

Feel free to recommend me a book!

Books listed here aren't the only ones that I've enjoyed reading. I read a lot, but I might not have read what you're thinking of (recommend it to me above!). There are some books that I've enjoyed yet felt conflicted about recommending to everyone. Some books, I simply haven't finished the series for, and thus feel uncomfortable recommending (an ending can be CRITICAL!). And sometimes I don't remember enough of my experience with a book to recommend it! That doesn't mean that book is bad -- more that trying to shove thousands of books worth of knowledge into my mind is kind of hard, ya know? I also have not run into a single novel that has made me think: I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO NO ONE. Nope, every book has its audience.

I don't describe any of the books below in detail. I'd suggest you compare our reading tastes and look at the Goodreads page to determine whether the book is something you would enjoy. If you're curious about my opinion on a book, feel free to connect with me at any of the listed social media sites and I'll try my best to respond.

*note: some books are genre benders, and some incorporate more than one genre in general (historical romantic fantasy, for example). In such cases, where I've placed those recommendations is, honestly, kind of arbitrary.

I don't read many horror books. I had nightmares after watching The Sixth Sense and some James Bond movie where a snake slithers into the room from an air ventilation shaft. To this day, I have nightmares about tarantulas if something reminds me of them. I can't do horror, not without having nightmares or startling or being extra paranoid. So I don't have many recommendations.

Anthologies are great. They're an easy way to discover new authors while reading about fascinating worlds and fun characters. The nature of the short story means that everything has to be compact; every scene must work on multiple levels. I've enjoyed every anthology that I've read, if not every story within them, and I'm glad for these YA anthologies, especially because they helped me discover some of my favorite authors:
